Hey!

Viner framesets arriving sometime early next month with the Zeus deal! They will have the foil Columbus frame sticker so they are a bit on the older side! Problem. I nor the current owners knows of the grade of tubing. Maybe they will have some old records to check this for me! Anyway, they are gold colored and are non stickered. They are coming straight out of fresh Factory master cases of 2s, so the paint is fresh as can be!......Sizes are unknown but I do have a photos and from the looks of it it appears to be a 53cm or 54cm. So to say there are good sizes available. Price, we will know better once all cost has been covered. We are thinking? $ 75.- to perhaps $ 95.- per frameset.

Other happenings!

Mafac brakesets I receive news tomorrow 3/6/03 of when we should be seeing them!

Long awaited Cascarsi deal, wheels are going in motion today 3/5/03!.....I'm off to them today.

BC.......................And the gang!!
